it is tobe'observed, does-notflie .in' a plane atright angles to the axis of the'eye 9; and r the axis of the 'needle'2, but lies in a plane which inclines upwardly'and forwardly. at" V 1 formed; into aforwardly extended, projec- "tion l, which slants upwardly andv forwardly and is locatedjap'proximately in a common plane with the upwardly slanting elbow 12, "the projection'l being bent' up- ,8

Wardly and rearw'ardly atits extremityto form a rounded, work guiding eyej15.- I Owing to the fact that the projection, 14

and the elbow portion 1270f the lower arm 1 7 lie in a rearwardlyand downwardly slant- .ing plane, the work may be operated on readily, withoutvthe;.danger of catching on the attachment-forming the 'subjectimatterof this application. 1 Since the projection 14 is ."bent' rearwardly" and I upwardly to. form the rounded end '15, a catching ofthe material is further avoided; 1 [Since the arms Grand construction; of the device, the work is at V all timesvisible, and the structure may be operated successfully in connection with 'em-l broidery'rings.
